        You mean like how Israel destroyed almost every hospital in Gaza?

        Israel started this way. Now they are getting the same treatment they gave to Palestine or Lebanon.

            Bombing a valid military target is not a war crime. A war crime is something like killing prisoners or civilians. A war crime is like bombing civilian targets(like Russia does). A war crime is like when you starve a population with a blockade.

            Please let me know what Iran did as a war crime, im really really interested.

      in a vacuum, if it was a dark comedy, it would be so funny how Israel complains about the things they have been doing non stop.

      but it isn’t, because the major countries are acting as if they believe what Israel says.

    Tough getting a spoon of their own medicine. Although the mullahs claim they were actually targeting something nearby, while the IDF just claims every hospital, school, or whatever to be Hamas HQ.

    I mean…

    Honestly the whole “assassinating a leader is against the rules” has always felt ass backwards when the alternative is a shit ton of people with essentially no say in the conflict dying.

    Let me take it back to Hammarubi.

    All these shitty world leaders can just take turns killing themselves like the bloody Sneeches, until we eventually end up with leaders who think peace is worth a shot.

    To me, that sounds like a self correcting and sustainable system. If a country’s government starts a war, the most likely result would be that political leader getting merc’d by the government of the country they attacked.

        The only reasons I can see that monster is still breathing is the power vacuum left behind would make the situation worse, and the US would royally fuck anyone who tried it.

      “Leaders can have a little assassination, as a treat”

      Not too often, just enough to remind them of their humanity.

      If a country’s government starts a war, the most likely result would be that political leader getting merc’d by the government of the country they attacked.

      Depends on who’s stronger. I don’t think it’s gonna lead to stability every time, unless the leaders realize it’s better (read: profitable) to be at peace.

        Depends on who’s stronger.

        Now it depends on who is willing to throw enough bodies thru a meat grinder, bomb civilians, or nuke everything…

        If assassinations on the table, none of that shit matters if you personally get killed before you order it used

        Every aggressive country would prioritize personal defense and strategic assassination squads.

        Which again, I’d see as an absolute win over thousands or even millions of people dying.

        There’s no down sound.

          What happens if one country invades the other which doesn’t posses the tech necessary to kill the leader? eg cruise missiles, bunker busters, or modern aviation in general

      You will end up with leaders that will not meet each other or leave their countries. You will end up with leaders eternally paranoid that at any moment they could be assassinated by a foreign power.

      This will be a guarantee for much more wars, killing many more people than we already have.

      The problem with assassinating leaders is that it turns the population into a headless mob, and plenty of innocents suffer tremendously anyways.

      Modern military technology has made such concerns much less important, as any conflict is increasingly devastating.

      No they didn’t. Iran didn’t bomb every hospital and clinic in Israel repeatedly, Iran didn’t bomb Israel fertility centers, Iran didn’t ambush and shoot doctors and bury their bodies, Iran didn’t drone strike ambulances AFTER coordinating their movement. Iran didn’t bulldoze graves of all the people it slaughtered to invade a hospital and destroy its water lines, Iran didn’t evacuate hospitals at gun point and leave infants to starve to death alone in hospital beds. Iran didn’t do any of that.

      Israel did all that, and more, and they bragged about it very loudly and posted all the evidence themselves.

    It’s not like iranians leaders don’t expect to be murdered. I am sure they have plan for replacements which may be smarter than thr current ones
